Chapter 463: The World Beyond the Exiled Lands
"From today onwards, you will be the empress of the Central City of the Ghost and Spirit Capital Domain."
"The Empress? Me? ”
After becoming an empress, what do you do?
At that time, Yan Liu didn't think too much, she just obediently followed the old servants and walked down from the top of the highest tower unhurriedly.
On that day, the color of the sky was very special, it was a pale blue like a jewel, like the sky in the world.
The wind carries the warmth of spring, as well as the scent of flowers and earth.
Later, she learned that the tallest tower is the closest place to the human world, and at the top of the tallest tower, there is a passage that has been blocked all the year round, and as long as there is a key, any undead can pass through that door and leave this eternally lifeless ghost capital.
It's just that when Yan Liu knew about this, it was already a hundred years after she became emperor.
It's really a terrible story, and by the time she learns of the door's existence, the key to the portal has been lost. It disappeared from the Ghost Capital, and no one knew when it disappeared, and some even suspected that she had stolen the key, so she sent additional servants to watch over her.
"What does that key look like?"
"Your Highness, that's not your concern. As your friend, though, I might be able to tell you a little bit about it. Before the formation of the Demon Capital, it was once the entrance to hell and was known as the 'Land of Exile'. The undead here are all fierce spirits, bloodthirsty and easy to kill......"
The servant had followed her for many years and had never deceived her.
The first emperor of the Ghost Capital Domain was a very mysterious person. His reign was short, as short as it seemed to be only a year and a half, he left no portrait, no one knew where he came from or where he went, and the only thing he left for those who came after him was a door through which he could leave the place of exile.
What kind of world is it outside of the Exiled Lands?
The old servant had lived for many years, but he didn't know anything about the door. Speaking of which, he had seen the first emperor, but because he had lived too long, most of the things in his memory had been blurred, and he couldn't remember what the emperor looked like at all.
Even though he had forgotten a lot of things and was very useless, the old servant still remembered something very clearly.
That is, the key to the door.
"It's really something that can't be called a key, it's actually a finger in my opinion. I saw with my own eyes that His Highness swung his sword and cut off the finger of the beast, and the moment it hit the ground, it became something like jade, the size of a small mountain! It was a very tragic battle, and it rained blood for half a month, drowning most of the city......"
……
Lin Xun's eyes began to darken, his body almost turned into a petri dish of vine charms, and more vine charms came out of his wounds, sucking his blood and squeezing his spiritual power.
At that moment, Lin Xun even felt that he was the human flesh and skin bag floating in the air, or it wouldn't be long before he would be completely engulfed by these disgusting netherworld filth!
"Wait, this is the Underworld, since it's the Underworld, then this thing should be able to come in handy!"
Lin Xun's heart moved, and his eyes became clear.
With all the strength he had left, he allowed himself to turn his body slightly to the side.
Blood flowed slowly down his collarbone, dripping onto the bone-piercing jade.
The bone-piercing jade erupted with an astonishing light, and that light instantly enveloped his body, cutting off the vine charms that were attached to him, and letting him descend to the ground peacefully.
"Hiss......"
It hurts!
This pain is not something that ordinary people can bear, although Lin Xun is not an ordinary person, he is also rolling on the ground in pain, snorting.
He reluctantly allowed himself to stand up, but was frightened by the sight before him.
"Did I really fall into a pit underground?"
It's an unbelievable picture, with a cloudless blue sky, a warm sun and smoky wind with the intoxicating fragrance of spring, and even the faint sound of birdsong in the distance.
This is an open meadow, full of large purple spike-like tiny flowers, just standing here, Lin Xun's injuries have shown signs of gradual improvement, and even his mood has inexplicably improved.
He couldn't help but walk towards the flowers, the further he went, the more intoxicating the fragrance of the flowers became, it was an irresistible comfort, until he walked into the middle of the sea of flowers, Lin Xun vaguely felt that it was inappropriate!
"No, it's a strange place, and I've just experienced something like that...... How could I be so intoxicated by the singing of birds and flowers and come here in such a hurry! ”
He was about to walk back, but his legs couldn't take half a step, and when he looked down, he saw that there were any purple flowers. It's clearly all vine charms!
The vine charm wrapped his legs, and he looked back, it had become a dangerous battlefield full of bones, and looking ahead, it was still a bright spring scene with birds singing and flowers. Lin Xun rubbed his eyes vigorously, looking at it again and again, it was still a strange scene of heaven in front and hell in the back!
"Is this forcing me forward?"
Lin Xun took a deep breath and hesitated in his heart.
Since there is no turning back, then he ...... Going a little further?
"These vine charms are just trapping me, but they don't mean to hurt me, they seem to be trying to keep me going, not to take my life. In other words, if they were trying to kill me, in my current state, there would be little resistance. ”
He slowly opened his legs and walked forward cautiously.
Lin Xun's heart was uneasy, but this strange spring scene seemed to have magical power, pulling his mind and making him gradually relax the string in his mind.
In the end, he finally walked out of the sea of flowers.
Beyond the sea of flowers, there was a wider world, but the sky over there had darkened a lot, and red lightning like snakes could be seen, looming in the dark clouds of the sky.
Lin Xun didn't have time to marvel.
In front of me is a small lake, a small wooden bridge by the lake, and on the other side of the bridge, there is a quaint courtyard. An old man wearing a hat and a cloak was leaning against the bridge, gulping down wine.
He's fishing, and the fish he wants to catch seems to have come.
He waved his hand at Lin Xun from afar, motioning for him to cross the bridge.
Lin Xun was silent for a while, thought about it a little, and walked over and sat down not far from the old man.
The old man is old, his beard and hair are white, but his eyes are clear and bright, as if he can see through everything. Lin Xun, who was in front of him, actually felt cold all over, afraid that the other party would even know what color pants he was wearing.
"Your stuff is heavy, can you carry it?"
The two looked at each other for a few minutes, but the old man said such a sentence for no reason, which made Lin Xun completely confused.
